About Me

I’m Jess, a qualified teacher and 11+ tutor with experience across a range of Dorset and independent schools, including Bournemouth School for Girls, Bournemouth Collegiate School and Bryanston School. I’ve taught children from Reception through to Year 13, giving me a strong understanding of how pupils learn, what they find challenging, and how to build confidence at every stage.

I specialise in preparing children for the Dorset 11+, including Quest Thinking Skills, and I teach in a calm, structured and reassuring way. My goal is always to help children feel capable, confident and ready for the challenge ahead.

I hold an Enhanced DBS check specific to working with children and current safeguarding training.

Understanding Busy Families

As a busy mum of three myself, I understand how difficult it can be to fit tutoring around school, clubs and family life. That’s why I offer:

Small‑group sessions at convenient times
One‑to‑one tuition
Online sessions for families who prefer learning from home

My aim is to make the process smooth, supportive and stress‑free for both children and parents.

Quest‑Ready Resources

Alongside a bank of standard resources, I also create my own bespoke 11+ and Quest‑style questions, designed to develop strong reasoning skills, accuracy and exam technique. These materials are used exclusively within Dorset Grammar Prep and support children in building resilience and confidence.
